GCSS-MC Program Overview Program Description GCSS-MC is the primary technology enabler for the Marine Corps Logistics Modernization strategy and provides the backbone for all logistics information required by the Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF). The core is modern, commercial-off-the-shelf enterprise resource planning software (Oracle 11i e-business Suite). GCSS-MCs design is focused on enabling the warfighter to operate while deployed with reachback from the battlefield. GCSS-MC is being implemented in Increments. Increment 1 replaces 40- year old legacy supply and maintenance information technology systems. The focus of future increments will be enhancing capabilities in the areas of warehousing, distribution, logistics planning, decision support, depot maintenance, and integration with emerging technologies to improve asset visibility. Increment 1 Capabilities GCSS-MC Increment 1 being delivered in 2 Releases Release 1.1: Enterprise Server Suite; Helpdesk; Operations Center; Tiers 3 & 4 Fielded to OPFORS (MEFs) and LOGCOM Licensing and training for up to 36,000 users Release 1.2: Deployed Server Suites - fielded to MEFS for MAGTF use Mobile Field Service Capability for disconnected operations Provides Task Organization and Data Synchronization GCSS-MC Provides: Single integrated supply/maintenance system Visibility / enhanced equipment accountability Near real time information to support decision making Deployable to austere environments Capability to work in disconnected environment Increment 1 Architecture Full Capability Activities Complete Increment 1 system rollout - FOC/FD in FY13. Oracle e-business Suite Release 11 upgrade to R12 in FY12-14. Increment 2 USMC Wide Supply Capability - Implements Wholesale & Retail Warehouse Mgmt and AIT/IUID, expands Increment 1 capability to the Supporting Establishment, & adds additional Classes of Supply in future increments Increment 3 Transportation/Distribution/In-transit Visibility - Focus on Planning the Modes, Links and Schedules of the Intra-Theater Trans. & Distribution System Increment 4 - Focus on Intermediate & Depot Maintenance for the Supporting Establishment.
